When a French abbe left one village to take up work in another the mayor and the citizens of the town that he was leaving lighted-a bonfire in the road to speed the departing official, and in other ways showed that they were overjoyed to see the last of him. The abbe thought himself insulted and brought an action for damages; but as he was unable to show any, the case was dfsmissed. . ‘ . A very stout man who bought a third-class ticket on an English rail- way found that he could not enter the narrow doorway of a third-claSS adm- partment. Accordingly, he went into a first-class compartment, the doors of which were wider, and refused to pay the e. ess fare. The railway com any sue him for the, balance, and e man had to pay both that and the costs, for the court decided that this could not have heed his first of- fence, and that, knowing that he could not squeeze through the door of a third-class compartment, he ought to, have purchased a first-cla5s ticket.

QUEER LAWSUITS. is e in will In the days of our fathers and grand- fathers rheumatism was thought to be the unavoidable penalty of middle life and old age. Almost every elderly person had rheumatism, as well as many young people. Medical science did not understand the troubleâ€"did not know that it was rooted in the blood. It was thought that rheumatism was the mere effect of exposure to cold and damp, and it was treated with liniments and hot applications, which sometimes gave temporary re- lief, but did not cure the trouble. In those days there were thousands of rheumatic cripples. Now, medical science understands that rheumatism is a dis-ease of the blood, and that with godd, rich, red blood any man or woman of any age can defy rheu- matism. It can be cure by killing the poison in the blood w ich causes it. There are many elderly people who have never felt a twinge of rheuma- tism, and many who have conquered it by simply keeping their blood rich and purei The blood making( blood enriching qualities of Dr. Williams Pink Pills is becoming every year more widely known, and it is the more general use of these pills that has robbed rheumatism of its terrors.

They also know when even the slightest trace of acid or alkali is pre- sent in the water. Some scientists have even proposed that herring and other fish be used to detect the pre- sence of chemicals in the water, just as canaries are used to discover traces of poisonous gas in mines. ‘ The investigators say that salmon find their way into rivers by means of the presence of acids or alkalis, which, of course, varies in different streams. Even when they are a long way out at sea they can discover the trace that will lead them to the bay and the stream that they seek. It thus becomes unnecessary to appeal to a “homing instinct” to explain the re turn of certain salmon to certain riv- ers or the “running” of herring to certain localities. Can Detect Difi'erences in Heat, and Cold. How salt-water fish that at certain periods in their lives migrate to fresh water always find their way into the same rivers is made clear by the in- vestigations of two doctors who have recently been studying the reaction of salt-water fish to various Conditions of environment.

They do not limit their translations to political publications; they trans- late novels and romances in, all lan- guages for the Sultan. and many thou- sand volumes of their work have found their way into the imperial library. They are all written on thick, white, royal, octavo, gilt-edged paper, and are fastened together with green and red ribbons by the translators themselves. classical works, novels. magazines and newspapers. With the exception of his personal attendants and ministers of state, no one is allowed in the im- perial sanctuary during the Sultan’s literary “fits.” But the,Su1tan is at something of a disadvantage, says a British weekly, because his knowledge of European languages is limited. In order to overcox‘ne the difficulty he employs a translation office. Jere, there are officials who speak all the languages of Europe and the East. They read all the political and illus- trated newspapers _of‘ importance and translate extracts from them for the Sultan. There are fifteen superior translators, called dragoman secreâ€" taries, in that office, and their pay is frOm ten‘to forty Turkish pounds monthly. After circulating through the harem they are preserved in the library. The Sultan’s favorite reading is criminal remances. He subscribes to all news- papers? that cbntain report of the pro- ceedings in the law courts, and there is no famous writer of stories of crime in any language whose works have not been translated for him. shut; him rounded classical Apple trees may be pruned with safety at any time after the leaves begin to fall.
